Attached thermal camera and counterweight to the gimbal. Moved vtx and battery on the drone.
Flies great. The gimbal handles the extra weight just fine. Phantom's gyro-stabilized gimbal, which can be...
While there are harmonics, the EM radiation is most powerful at 60Hz in the US and most of the world, 50Hz in the UK and a few other countries.
The bigger problem is inductive interference throughout the drone's electronics, particularly longer...
You make great points. I want to expand on this a little.
In the radio world, powerlines can wreak havoc. What happens is a connection can grow in impedance over time. This can be seen with a thermal, but the mismatch can create a nonlinear...
There's only one way you're going to find that out for definite... the hard way and for yourself.
From personal experience, I've had a Mavic 2 go haywire twice when launched near a HT pylon. Both times it displayed a violent yaw error and headed...
